Jesus Heals Many(A)
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.(B) 17 This was to fulfill(C) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
The Cost of Following Jesus(E)
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.(F) 19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(G) has no place to lay his head.”
21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me,(H) and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm(I)(J)
23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He replied, “You of little faith,(K) why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.(L)
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

Peter’s Mother-in-law and Many Others Healed
14 (A)When Jesus came into Peter’s [a]home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and [b]waited on Him. 16 Now when evening came, they brought to Him many (B)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and (C)healed all who were ill. 17 This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: “(D)He Himself took our illnesses and [c]carried away our diseases.”
Discipleship Tested
18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, (E)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. 19 (F)Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” 20 And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but (G)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus *said to him, “(H)Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm
23 (I)When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, a [d]violent storm developed on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “(J)Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” 26 He *said to them, “Why are you [e]afraid, (K)you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and [f]it became perfectly calm. 27 The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
